Matt Groening sez that Homer Simpson is a Canadian:
In Montreal for a performance of The Simpsons – In the Flesh stage show at the Just for Laughs comedy festival, Groening noted Thursday his dad was born in Canada and Homer is named for him so . . . .
“That would make Homer Simpson a Canadian,” Groening said in an interview. “I hope Canadians won’t hold it against the show now that they know.
“We were counting on Canadians feeling superior to the Simpsons as being doltish Americans but now the secret is out.”
